When we first rolled out TryStack, a place for trying out cloud! for OpenStack, we heard the groans from the audience since our first ID check is through a Facebook login. No Facebook, no TryStack. But since we’ve worked through the manual process and put a straight-through “Login using Facebook” link on the Dashboard, I have to say the process is super easy and repeatably so.

And I’m quite glad that we have the TryStack Facebook group for people to ask questions specific to TryStack. As the OpenStack doc coordinator I’ve found the group to be very valuable in telling me what information they’re missing, where they get confused about usage, and so on.

I especially like the video linking I can do in Facebook comments. Here’s a link to a video I made introducing people to TryStack.
